No more politics, I know what's next
Call me hypocrite, and burn down bridges
I got a river running through my neck
I got a river running through my heart

and all the blood, it spills, runs to the ocean
While the oceans rise up and mingle with the air
Growing fingertips and semen-stained covers
Singing mercy me, oh god, oh ecstasy, oh yeah, right there

fantastic chicks, strawberry hips
Light me a candle, blow out my wish
Unconscious id, turns toward the sun
Knows where the warmth is, knows what it wants

wants to be filled in, wants to be filled up
I want to be reborn, I want to be re-loved

and all the babies born swim from the ocean
All the rain that falls runs into the sea
Growing crazy mixed-up frogs that preach the coming of disaster
Singing mercy me, oh god, oh hell and ecstasy

El Dorado blues, nowhere left to run
Grandma got plutonium under the rug
Fanatical bliss, fanatical fire
Fanatics don't let their babies go dancing

you repress the beat, you repress the wine
Your momma mistook you for a lion
She cut off your head, she don't know you're dead
And all the streets you ruled run red

mmm, the grass grows green where the homeless man sleeps
And the mystic sneezes rain [shawls](?), I like your polka-dotted panties
And the heat grows desire as a white back arches
Under a hot blue sky, sunny afternoon in the park

ha la na na, ha na na na
La na na, na na na
Etc. etc.

no more politics, I know what's next
You call me hypocrite, come on burn it down
No more politics, I know what's next
We're all hypocrites, come on burn it down

go on, burn it down
Come on, burn it down

Ave Grave
Thee More Shallows
So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
